Wow…this is the only time I’ve heard of the advisory. It makes me even more grateful for this news resource! Thank you ! Anyone contemplating a trip to Brian Head or the snow resort above Beaver is going to want this information.

To hear the SLC news stations tell it, we’re going to have a calm and balmy weekend down here. How disappointing that the well being of So. Utah residents isn’t important enough for them to squash a puff-piece and focus on this danger.
